Indeed those are blue! The shot is pretty cropped but the cool lighting certainly helps with the blueness. The majority of Bluwits I find are actually more purple in colour, just found a nice patch about 2 min walk from my house. They are some nice tasting mushrooms, I have yet to pick them though as I've been to busy to do anything with them and would rather them rot outside then in a bag in my fridge

RIP Matt, your friendship and your contributions to the world of fungi will be missed. Unfortunately we never got to hunt together.

Right on I have often thought the same thing I've always been fine with the Clitocybe nuda name though hehe even though I know there's a big fight between that name and Lepista.

Lepista sounds better I think, I mean if you told some random girl you just found some Clitocybe nuda she might slap you.

I wouldn't call it a "big fight"... More like, a lack of clarity. I've talked to a few mycologists, one who studies Lepista and/or Clitocybe, and they are all kind of like "well, whatever you want to call it", or "Haha... I wish there was a simple answer".
